The Texans had key players return to practice on Wednesday, including cornerback Derek Stingley, who was limited due to an oblique injury but has not missed any games this season. Safety Kamari Lassiter also participated in a limited capacity, having started all 15 games. Other limited participants included linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, and defensive end Dylan Horton, while several players, including linebacker Jake Hansen and right tackle Trent Brown, did not practice. Full participants included running back Woody Marks and cornerback Ajani Carter, with injury designations for Saturday’s game against the Chargers expected on Thursday.
